The Desert Odyssey in Photos – All Good Things...

[mrhenniger]

We did a road trip the last few days which took us by many locations also, and found the T-29 Aerodogs (your 2010 CA road trip) Convair hotdog restaurant closed also on Wednesday. We tried their number and got a disconnected line, could be that they are now out of business?

Hopefully someone from Tulare can tell us. I am on the wrong side of the continent to know.

Mike, the Bleriot you saw at Reno is an original, not a replica.

OK. Does it have an N-number?
